when i was a child, i loved to fingerpaint. the feel of the paint squishing between my fingers, the texture of the paper, the vivid colors. the freeform of the medium was also appealing---i had never felt confident as a visual artist, except in that format. years later the 21st century has provided me with another medium: the computer, and the open source platform OpenOfficeOrg
while creating art on the computer is not as sensual [keyboarding not withstanding] an experience as fingerpainting, when a project progresses from just a thought to an actual image, it is very satisfying indeed.
after a few computer crashes and the panic of the possibility of my work being gone forever or re-creating pieces out of necessity rather than wanting to tweak them, it was Blogger to the rescue. hubby and i have other blogs via Blogger
